Five basics stand between this country and zero
This profile has a direct five-part Money Gate audit. Any category below 4/4 keeps the whole country below zero.
9% weightHuman Time & Burden Return
+10.0
Whether productivity, infrastructure and institutions return usable lifetime to people and families.
TBFC target: Necessary contribution should not require people to sell most of their waking life merely to retain access to food, shelter, care and ordinary family life.
Access-gate research question: How much paid work or income-producing activity is required before an ordinary household can keep access to basic life, and what usable family time remains afterward?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
Grenada combines public education, school feeding and health services with an economy where housing, utilities, transport and many imported essentials remain paid. Hurricane recovery has also added repair and rebuilding burdens for affected households.

8% weightHousing, Shelter & Housing Reach
-15.0
Whether adequate shelter physically exists and actually reaches people without excessive cost, exclusion or vacancy mismatch.
TBFC target: Adequate family shelter should remain reachable without lifetime dependence on rent, mortgage debt or ability to pay.
Access-gate research question: What share of ordinary shelter access depends on rent, mortgage debt, purchase price or other recurring payment, and what dependable non-market routes exist at national scale?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
Government budget documents allocate funds for home improvement, material assistance and soft loans, while Project 500 uses public land for affordable developments. These improve reach but do not constitute broad free housing or land access, and Hurricane Beryl worsened the housing deficit.

9% weightFood, Nourishment & Free Food Abundance
+10.0
Physical food and nutrient capacity, nourishment reach, waste/loss, public edible landscapes and free food access.
TBFC target: Nutritious food should exist in multiplying abundance and remain reachable even when a household has no money to spend.
Access-gate research question: Can people obtain adequate nutritious food when they cannot pay, and are free/public/productive-food routes large enough to be ordinary rather than exceptional?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
Grenada eliminated fees for the school feeding programme and continues strengthening national school feeding and school gardens. This provides direct child food access, while general household food remains market-dependent and exposed to import and hurricane shocks.

6% weightWater & Sanitation Abundance
+15.0
Safe water, sanitation, reliability, capture, reuse, storage and living-landscape water capacity.
TBFC target: Safe water and sanitation should be dependable life infrastructure, not conditional on household purchasing power.
Access-gate research question: Can households retain safe water and sanitation when income falls, and which payment, disconnection or infrastructure barriers interrupt access?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
NAWASA is the statutory water and sewerage provider and finances operations through water and sewer rates. Hurricane Beryl damaged water networks, while current regulation and investment aim to strengthen resilience rather than remove payment gating.

5% weightEnergy & Household Capability
+5.0
Whether usable, reliable energy reaches households and removes burdens across water, food, health, cooling, cooking and movement.
TBFC target: Essential household energy should support cooking, cooling, water, food preservation and care without money becoming the switch that turns basic capability on or off.
Access-gate research question: Can households retain essential energy for cooking, cooling, water and food preservation when they cannot pay, and how often does price or disconnection reduce capability?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
Grenlec remains Grenada's sole licensed electricity utility and bills customers under regulated tariffs. Solar, battery storage and other renewable projects are expanding, but household energy is still a recurring paid service and fuel-price movements affect bills.
Public Utilities Regulatory Commission Grenada — Electricity Sector
7% weightHealth & Care Reach
+30.0
Whether prevention, primary care, medicine, maternity care, dentistry and specialist capability reach people when needed.
TBFC target: Prevention, maternity, dentistry, medicine and necessary treatment should be reachable because care is needed, not because payment can be produced.
Access-gate research question: Can necessary care be obtained because it is needed, or do price, insurance, employment, debt or other financial tests materially delay or prevent access?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
PAHO reports sustained work on health governance, universal access, financing and primary care, with several health-system targets only partly achieved. Public facilities and pooled regional medicines reduce friction, but capacity and financing gaps remain.

6% weightEducation & Human Capability
+55.0
Foundational learning plus practical, technical and enduring civilization capability retained by people.
TBFC target: Foundational learning and useful capability should be reachable as part of civilization life rather than purchased according to family income.
Access-gate research question: Which essential learning and capability routes are genuinely reachable regardless of family income, and where do fees, debt or paid enrichment create decisive access gaps?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
Government primary schools are free, and current public policy has removed school-feeding fees. Hurricane Beryl damaged 34 schools, but reconstruction and learning-material support have restored capacity while preserving strong basic educational reach.

4% weightMobility & Reachability
-5.0
Local, regional and national movement that connects people to family, services, work, learning and public life without consuming excessive time.
TBFC target: Ordinary local and regional movement should be available for family, care, learning and civic life without travel becoming a paywall.
Access-gate research question: Can ordinary people reach family, care, learning and public life without high recurring fares, vehicle costs, debt or fuel dependence?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
Government supports bus operators and regulates fare discussions, showing transport is treated as essential infrastructure. Ordinary bus trips remain paid, and Carriacou/Petite Martinique add inter-island transport friction.

8% weightFamily Formation, Continuity & Child Stability
Fertility agenda · target 5.0
Family continuity is measured partly by whether children are actually multiplying. New and re-reviewed profiles use total fertility as 40% of Family Formation: 2.1 births per woman is the replacement floor and earns positive but limited credit; the authored target is 5.0.
Read A Civilization Built for Mothers and Fathers
+10.1
Conditions that let people form stable families, raise children, share parental time and continue family life without punishing material barriers.
TBFC target: People should be able to form, continue and multiply family life. Trott Bailey Family Civilization uses 5.0 children per woman as the fertility target; 2.1 is the replacement floor, not the aspiration, while housing, care, food and time should not be withheld behind financial thresholds.
Access-gate research question: How strongly do housing, childcare, health, food and work-income requirements delay or destabilize family formation and continuity, and is total fertility moving above replacement toward the 5.0-children-per-woman civilization target?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Published indicators
World Bank WDI via FRED — Grenada fertility · 2024
SourceVerified evidence
Grenada's 2024 total fertility rate was 1.472 births per woman, far below replacement and therefore negative under the TBF fertility agenda. Free primary education and school feeding help families, but housing costs, disaster exposure and ordinary paid essentials continue to pressure family formation.

5% weightLand Access & Spatial Freedom
-10.0
Whether land and settlement choice reach ordinary people rather than opportunity being functionally trapped inside expensive commercial centres.
TBFC target: Suitable productive land and settlement opportunity should not be functionally reserved for those able to outbid everyone else.
Access-gate research question: Can ordinary families gain secure use of suitable productive ground without first accumulating enough money to purchase, finance or outbid others?
Abundance Gap: +6.0

Verified evidence
Project 500 explicitly uses government and Housing Authority land for new communities, providing a meaningful public route into residential development. Access is nevertheless structured through affordable purchase/finance rather than broad free productive or residential land rights.

6% weightPeace of Mind, Happiness, Beauty & Delight
+55.0
Peace of mind, social support, everyday safety, public beauty, recreation, nature, culture and delight reachable without constant payment.
TBFC target: Beauty, nature, recreation, rest and public delight should belong to ordinary life rather than appearing mainly after payment.
Access-gate research question: How much everyday rest, nature, recreation, culture and public beauty is freely reachable, rather than principally accessed through paid venues, travel or private property?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
Grenada's small-island geography and generally peaceful civic conditions make ordinary outdoor and community life broadly reachable. Hurricane damage periodically removes access to homes, schools and public infrastructure, but conflict is not a dominant daily constraint.
World Bank — Grenada overview
6% weightLiving Ground, Biodiversity & Resilience
+15.0
Whether soil, forests, wetlands, habitat, pollinators, species and water-holding landscapes are strengthening rather than being consumed.
TBFC target: Regenerating soil, water, habitat and food-bearing landscapes should be maintained as shared life-supporting capacity rather than only where a transaction makes them profitable.
Access-gate research question: Are regenerative land, water and habitat functions maintained as life-supporting infrastructure even when no direct commercial return is available?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
Hurricane Beryl caused damages equal to about 16.5% of GDP, including impacts to power, water, coastal infrastructure and housing. Grenada's catastrophe financing and reconstruction systems responded quickly, supporting a modest positive resilience score rather than ignoring the underlying exposure.
World Bank — Grenada overview
5% weightJustice, Safety & Institutional Friction
+35.0
Physical safety, usable justice, legal identity, reliable public administration and low needless institutional burden.
TBFC target: Usable justice, legal identity, safety and ordinary administration should remain accessible regardless of wealth.
Access-gate research question: Do fees, legal costs, bail, fines, documentation costs or ability to hire expertise materially change access to justice, safety or public administration?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
Grenada operates within the OECS framework, including free-movement rights and shared regional systems such as pooled procurement. Administrative capacity is constrained by small-state scale, but ordinary services are not dominated by severe conflict or systemic exclusion.

4% weightDurability, Repair & Material Return
+15.0
Whether useful materials, infrastructure and goods are maintained, repairable, recovered and cycled instead of repeatedly becoming waste.
TBFC target: Repair, maintenance and useful material circulation should protect capability instead of forcing repeated repurchase as the default route to continued use.
Access-gate research question: Do repair and maintenance remain practically accessible, or do pricing, proprietary restrictions and replacement incentives turn continued use into repeated purchasing?
Abundance Gap: +6.0
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
Verified evidence
Reconstruction policy emphasizes resilient housing and infrastructure, while grid-scale battery and renewable projects aim to reduce imported-fuel exposure. Material systems are improving, but island import dependence and disaster losses still make replacement costly.
World Bank — Grenada overviewTrott Bailey Family Civilization Target
The end state: life beyond monetary gatekeeping
Trott Bailey Family Civilization treats money as an exchange tool rather than a prerequisite for access to life. The long-run abundance target is that food, water, shelter, care, education, mobility, land access and ordinary public life remain reachable even when a person cannot pay.
This target is an authored civilization standard. The diagnostic evidence score can now draw from all 16 weighted categories. The five-part Money Gate remains a separate domestic threshold asking whether food, housing/land, healthcare, transportation and water/energy are genuinely reachable without payment before any civilization can cross zero.
